Midtown Multi Purpose Space by Rowena & Takashi

Rowena & Takashi, Inc. is launching midtown Sacramento retail & salon space in early 2010.  The new facility features an Elixir Bar, retail/shopping, Davines Multi Space Salon and Studio 99.  The Elixir bar serves Elixir tonics; an alternative high-vibration beverage and light snacks.  The retail space features Davines, I NUOVI and other exclusive products including, professional salon tools, accessories, apparel, self-help books and international music.  The salon provides individualized services by departmentalized specialists.  When we established our first location in the El Dorado Hills business park, we committed to assimilate and contribute to local culture.  After 10 years in business, we are moving forward to provide our celebrated services and enjoyable employment opportunity in a well-designed environment.
